The first step towards a better network security would be to block the known threats. By the use of next generation firewalls or email gateways that are secure or other similar technologies, you can keep these threats at bay. The next step is to be prepared for the unknown. With the help of sensitive filters, the system can detect the threats that are unknown to the system and then create the threat intelligence accordingly. For instance, using sandboxing you can keep the malicious software in sheltered environment in order to observe its complete behavior and at the same time keeping the production networks unaffected. Once you are sure of the malware, it is time to take some actions by quarantining the user or devices or the content causing the attack.
